Shoulder Pain Relief @ Health Wise Chiropractic
What is Shoulder Pain?
This year, a staggering 55% of the workforce is projected to experience shoulder pain, highlighting a significant health concern that affects a large segment of the population.
Shoulder pain can manifest in various forms, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain that can hinder daily activities and overall quality of life.
It can originate from numerous causes, including injuries, overuse, or underlying medical conditions, and can impact individuals in diverse ways depending on their lifestyle, occupation, and physical health.
Common risk factors for shoulder pain include:
- Repetitive tasks: Engaging in repetitive motions, whether through occupational tasks or recreational activities, can lead to overuse injuries that strain the shoulder muscles and tendons.
- Prolonged static posture: Maintaining a static position for extended periods, such as sitting at a desk or holding a phone, can create imbalances and tension in the shoulder area, contributing to pain and discomfort.
- Stress: Psychological stress can manifest physically, leading to muscle tension and tightness in the shoulders, exacerbating existing pain or creating new issues.
- Spinal joint fixations: Misalignments or fixations in the spinal joints can affect the overall biomechanical function of the shoulder, leading to pain and reduced mobility.
- Tight muscles: Overly tight Muscles can restrict movement and contribute to pain in the shoulder region, often requiring targeted therapeutic interventions to alleviate discomfort.
Altered spinal curves can lead to rotator cuff issues and degenerative changes in both muscles and the spine.
The relationship between spinal alignment and shoulder health is crucial; when the spine is not in its optimal position, it can place undue stress on the shoulder joints, ligaments, and surrounding muscles, leading to a cascade of problems that can worsen over time if not addressed.
